We're joined by comedian and writer Charlie Demers to discuss a novel that the famous crime writer Donald Westlake finished in the early '80s but which wasn't published until after his death. At the time, he apparently worried that the plot--about a famous comedian kidnapped by a Weather Underground-style group of revolutionaries--was too similar to the Martin Scoresese movie The King of Comedy. We talk about the book's take on politics and comedy, which may have some echoes in our current cultural moment. And also Charlie's relationship to these characters, since he's a stand-up comedian and someone who's quite active in progressive politics. Plus: beatniks, Bob Hope, the fragmentation of popular culture, and our pitch for a show about a detective with ADHD.

Gavin Matts (comedian) returns to the show and catches a block that realistically we should all aspire to catch: he gets blocked by O.J. Simpson. You remember, the football player who also did some other stuff. It was a COVID-era block but Gavin doesn't catch it for a reason you'd think, but rather for a well-timed joke. And there are lots of well-timed jokes on this episode as discussion of bodegas leads us down a strange rabbit hole into the world of pitbull breeding and the very strange posters that accompany said breeding. We also chat about the YouTube comments on Gavin's new special, speaking Italian, and we revisit the classic "dog condoms" bit.
